Minia Biabiany (1988, Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe. Lives in Saint-Claude, Guadeloupe) is an artist, filmmaker, and education researcher. In her practice, Biabiany observes how the perception of the body is entangled with the perception of space, land, and history. Primarily through installations and videos, she evokes the gestures of weaving to create poetic and political narratives connected to self-understanding and healing. Her work explores the possibility of an enunciation beyond dominant colonial narratives, particularly within the context of Guadeloupe and the effects of French assimilation on the relationships between people, land, and plants. Her works have been exhibited at institutions such as the Centre Pompidou and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, and the Signal Center for Contemporary Art in Malmö.
